The Violin Man's Legacy
by Seumas Gallacher
Description
Thriller with bloody
twists and turns as ruthless killers meet their match in a former SAS hit squad.
Jack Calder is an
ex-SAS soldier working with former colleagues at ISP, a specialist security
firm. He is sent to investigate a murderous diamond heist in Holland, but
swiftly learns that there is a very strong Far East connection. He then travels
to Hong Kong where he meets the glamorous chief of ISP's local bureau, May-Ling.
Together they begin
to unravel a complex web of corruption. The twin spiders at the centre of this
web are the Chan brothers, leaders of one of Hong Kong's most ruthless and
powerful triad gangs.
The trail of death
and mayhem coils across Europe, Hong Kong and South America until all the
scores are settled.
Review
Seumas Gallacher is a great writer who brings his characters alive. He knows how to develop a plot to hold your interest. I love to literally fly away on his imagination to a land of story-telling like no other. You can't go wrong with this book or any book he has written. I highly recommend this book and this author.
About the author
Seumas Gallacher was
born in the cradle of the Govan shipyards in Glasgow in the so-called "bad
old days" which were in reality the greatest of days, where everybody was
a real character of note.
An
early career as a trainee Scottish banker led to a spell in London, where his
pretence to be a missionary converting the English locals fell on deaf ears.
Escape
to the Far East in 1980 opened up access to cultures and societies on a global
scale, eventually bringing the realisation that the world is quite simply one
large extended village.
The
lifelong desire to write has resulted in The
Violin Man's Legacy, the first in th Jack Calder series.
Seumas
says that finishing that novel was one of the best feelings he has ever
experienced in a life full of rich emotions.
Vengeance
Wears Black, the second book in the Jack Calder series, was released in July
2012.
